Incorporation of Eu 3+ in the hydroxide layers layered double hydroxides (LDH) enables curvature LDH sheets, allowing self-assembly high surface area nanotubes through a facile soft-templating strategy.

The potential feasibility of layered double hydroxides for removal of sunset yellow dye FCF from aqueous solution was investigated. The effects of various experimental parameters such as contact time, solution pH, dye concentrations and adsorbent dosage were investigated. The extent of sunset yellow FCF dye removal increased with the increased in contact time and amount of layered double hydrox...

Ionic conduction mechanism of Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) intercalated with CO32− (Mg-Al LDH) was studied. The electromotive force for the water vapor concentration cell using LDH as electrolyte showed partial pressure dependence and obeyed Nernst equation, indicating that hydroxide ion transport number is almost unity. ionic conductivity Mg(OH)2, MgCO3 Al2(CO3)3 also examined. Onl...

Clean production of hydrogen from electrochemical water splitting has been known as a green method of fuel production. In this work, electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was investigated at new prepared layered double hydroxides (LDH) in acidic solution. NiAl/carbon black (CB) LDH was monitored using x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, scannin...

The intercalation of a drug active, perindopril, into Mg/Al-layered double hydroxide for the formation of a new nanocomposite, PMAE, was accomplished using a simple ion exchange technique. A relatively high loading percentage of perindopril of about 36.5% (w/w) indicates that intercalation of the active took place in the Mg/Al inorganic interlayer. Intercalation was further supported by Fourier...
